Pretty Good. A concise and clear overview of what's new in 10.4. It doesn't go into tremendous detail in terms of usage demos (though there's a bit of that) but if you've been using earlier versions of logic this is a handy 'get up to speed' tutorial.

robint wrote on January 21, 2019

Very professional presentation. My only thought for complete beginners is they should have two screens (or one xtra wide) for Reasons and this tutorial along side. The student should be encouraged to load up the rack set so as to copy the lecture demos, otherwise 100% worth it, so much better than amateur you tube vids

Steven Wallace wrote on October 20, 2018

This is a very much required course as Behringer provide almost nothing to help you get started. The course basically talks you through the synths features from start to end. However, it does assume the user has previous knowledge of synths. I'd also like to see a few examples of making patches from start to end from a course of this price. Don't get me wrong, I have found this course very useful to get going with this synth, but it could be better for a newb like me.

Awesome course - one of the best (and I've watched a lot of courses here). Really opened my eyes to what a great synth ES2 is when you know how to use it.
Rishabh really knows his stuff.

Tuoni wrote on September 24, 2018

Good introduction to this synth which has a lot of functionality packed into a small space.
It might be worth adding a "Trainer Tip" calling out that the "Tune" control for OSC 1 is in fact the master tuning for the whole synth. This caught me unawares

Great intro to the SE-02 wrote on September 21, 2018

This was a great intro to the basics of the SE-02. It's my first hardware synth and this was exactly what I needed to get started.
